The Media Player is basically useless due to the default theme. To install with a better theme run:

There are 2 media players available for the 2008.8 device.

===== =opkg install qtopia-phone-x11-mediaplayer ====

+

Seems to be a very nice application, although I haven't found out yet where to put the music I want to play.

+

+

Install it using the "install" application or by typing:

+

opkg install qtopia-phone-x11-mediaplayer

+

+

+

===== openmoko-mediaplayer2 =====

+

Sice this media player currently is based on the pulseaudio sound server --- and this sound server breaks all phone applications using sound as soon as the phone goes into power saving mode it is unwise to install this application at this time.

If you have already install this application you have to uninstall pulseaudio, as well, to get your phone working as a phone again.

Connecting your FR through USB to an internet-connected computer

If you are also behind a router you may have to change your LAN IP range in your router to avoid using 192.168.0.* as this is the same IP range as what your phone and ICS uses. (If you don't there will be an IP conflict) (see below for a workaround)

After you install and run [Om 2008.8 ] for the first time you have to restart to get the USB working. Once you have done that you have to ssh into your phone (192.168.0.202) to edit your /etc/network/interfaces so you can access the internet through USB to install software and updates.

Wireless

Advanced power management

If you decide not to install the Unofficial Zecke updates you should install "illume-config" to can gain access to more advanced power management features and to change the look of the GUI through the wrench that will now appear in the top bar. (Restart your phone)

If you let the battery completely drain you will have problems booting it up. Plug it into the wall charger for a few hours and then plug it into your computer and press power.

BUT, if you have another charged battery, such as from the Spares pack, you can boot the Neo with the good battery, plug in wall-charger, and hot-swap the drained battery while booted. This allows you to immediately start "fast-charging" with the wall-charger. (Neo needs to be booted to recognize charger and switch to fast-charging)

You'll have to install "illume-config" to have more control over power management, scrolling speeds, keyboard options, and to change how the interface looks.

Some software that you install by command-line may appear in in the settings menu (wrench) that you unlock after installing "illume-config".
